The EXTC makes it happen, opening up creative possibilities while keeping sound quality central, all in the convenient 500 Series format.Balanced interface for guitar effects pedals
Balanced interface for guitar effects pedalsWith the Radial EXTC, you can easily tap into the wild world of effects pedals at any phase of the recording process, while maintaining the signal quality your professional recording rig demands. Just connect a line-level audio signal, then let the EXTC work its magic. The EXTC will convert to a hi-Z signal, so you can patch in any stompboxes you want via 1/4" send and receive connectors on the front panel. Send and Receive knobs are there for setting levels, while a blend control lets you attain just the right amount of the effect.Optimized signal path preserves your sound qualityRadial built the EXTC with signal integrity chiefly in mind, opening up the doors to creative stompbox use beyond just lo-fi applications. The EXTC includes Radial’s award-winning, fully discrete Class A guitar buffering as well as transformer isolation to eliminate ground loop buzz and hum. There’s also a 180º polarity reverse to keep your effects and balanced signals in phase.Convenient 500 Series formatCanada-based Radial Engineering has embraced the 500 Series format, contributing a range of excellent-sounding (and exceptionally made) tonal tools and sonic options to the popular modular format. The EXTC is another fine example of Radial at its best, ready to go in any 500 Series compatible rack.Radial EXTC Features:
The Radial Firefly begins with two inputs to allow quick changes on stage. This can be done using the front panel switch or with a standard latching remote foot-switch. The instrument signal is immediately routed to a tuner output that is always on. Following the award winning Radial JDV, the Firefly is also equipped with Drag Control load correction. This enables the artist to adjust the load on the magnetic pickup for a much more natural rendering. When bypassed, the load jumps to 4 meg-ohms enabling the Firefly to be used with piezo pickups.
The class-A circuit features a select 12AX7 tube drive with both gain and trim controls allowing the user to increase the grit and warmth as needed.
Features include a -15dB pad, 180º polarity reverse, a unique merge function to mix two signals to mono, an 80Hz high-pass rumble filter, and ground lift. Like all Radial products, the J48 is built to handle the abuse on the road and features a unique welded I-beam construction for years of trouble free performance.
